Creighton and Iowa State

Lange initially enrolled at Creighton University, but after her freshman year (2005–06), she transferred to Iowa State. Due to injuries, she had limited minutes. Her head coach, Bill Fennelly, persuaded her to remain with the team as a student coach. She served in this position for her final two years at Iowa State.[3]

Coaching career

She spent one season as a graduate assistant coach at St. Edward's in Austin, Texas. Following that season in 2011, she came to Omaha, and initially as director of basketball operations and then as an assistant coach. When the head coach resigned, she was initially named the interim head coach, and then, in December 2013, at the age of 26, was named head coach, one of the youngest head coaches in the country.[4][5][6]
